GDP per capita isn't a measure of standard of living either. For example, a country with a high level of exploitation will have high GDP per capita. There are plenty of better measures for the standard of living such as Physical Quality of Life Index. And there is plenty of evidence that the standard of living in China has been increasingly steadily.
Sure, but it correlates well with it
Yes, but only since Deng reforms. Before them China was a stagnant country
Only in a sense that western nations that have been traditionally exploiting the Global South have enjoyed an overall higher standard of living as a result.
That's completely and utterly false. I can recommend a book on the subject if you genuinely want to learn about the development of China https://redletterspp.com/products/chinas-great-road
